Shark's '74 just a fun truck

Hey guys,
First time joining this forum, well, first time in 45 years I finally own a square body! Always wanted one, just never had one.

I bought the truck from the second owner (he did the engine work and a bad paint job) and he purchased off the original owner who used it as a ranch truck.

It has some dents, mostly in tailgate area, which I'll probably just leave. Character
Little rust above the wheelwells that I'll need to rid at some point.

First on the list, it smelled funny inside.

I removed the seat and what was left of the carpet and headliner. Found one big old mouse nest in the back corner. Lots of scrubbing with hot water- tide-bleach and it's smelling nice again.

Took care of some surface rust on the floor, and gave a quick rattle can.

Installed a new heater core, and new carpet.

Scrubbed all the trim panels, and gave a fresh coat of charcoal, factor color out close enough.

Glued fresh headliner material onto the cardboard piece and put looks much better.
